5 things you have to know about Éder the scorer who won Euro 2016

Last night was the finale of the 2016 Euro Football Cup but before we all go back to our normal lives, let’s meet the man of the hour and the reason why most French supporters are waking up with a very bad hangover on this Monday morning.

The game was at 0-0, until a Portuguese player opened the score in the 109th minute with a strike that no one really saw coming. Least of all Lloris.

If you did’t quite believe that, here it is again.

Meet Éder, the 28 year-old who plays as a forward for Lille OSC, a French club (the irony).

Here is what there is to know about the man who earned Portugal its first international tournament title.

He was in only three games as a substitute

Éder spent most of Euro 2016 on the bench. Looks like everyone is reevaluating him now.

It is believed he and CR7 (Cristiano Ronaldo) share a cosmic bond
